Liquid ejecting apparatus

Abstract

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a line head which ejects liquid from a plurality of nozzles with respect to a medium, a wiping member that is able to wipe a nozzle forming surface on which the nozzles are formed, and an electronic mounting member that governs an electronic control, in which the wiping member is attachable and detachable with respect to the liquid ejecting apparatus, and the electronic mounting member is disposed at a location which is different from below an attachment/detachment path when the wiping member is attached and detached.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
 a head which ejects a liquid from a plurality of nozzles with respect to a medium; 
 a wiping member which is able to wipe a nozzle forming surface on which the nozzles are formed, and the wiping member is attachable and detachable with respect to the liquid ejecting apparatus along an attachment/detachment path when the wiping member is attached and detached; 
 an electronic mounting member which governs an electronic control; and 
 
       a cover which is openable and closeable, and forms a casing of a main body of the liquid ejecting apparatus,
 wherein the attachment/detachment path intersects with a direction in which the medium is transported, and 
 wherein the electronic mounting member is attached to an inner surface of the cover, 
 wherein when the cover is closed, at least a part of the electronic mounting member is positioned below the attachment/detachment path, and when the cover is opened, the electronic mounting member is not positioned below the attachment/detachment path. 
 
     
     
       2. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the head extends in a longitudinal direction which intersects with the direction in which the medium is transported, and 
 wherein the wiping member is movable along the longitudinal direction and is removable from the longitudinal direction. 
 
     
     
       3. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 an engagement member which is provided to an engaging position in one end of the moving direction, and is able to engage to the wiping member. 
 
     
     
       4. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the wiping member is movable to an attaching and detaching position different from the engaging position when removed from the liquid ejecting apparatus. 
 
     
     
       5. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a liquid reservoir section which retains the liquid accumulated by wiping using the wiping member, 
 wherein the engagement member has a connection section which is able to connect to the liquid reservoir section, and 
 wherein the liquid in the liquid reservoir section is discharged through the connection section when the liquid reservoir section is connected to the connection section. 
 
     
     
       6. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the cover is configured to cover at least one side of the longitudinal direction and is openable and closeable horizontally. 
 
     
     
       7. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a cleaning section which cleans the wiping member, 
 wherein the cleaning section is attachable and detachable in the same direction as the wiping member. 
 
     
     
       8. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
 a head which ejects a liquid from a plurality of nozzles with respect to a medium transported in a transport direction; 
 a wiping member that is able to wipe a nozzle forming surface on which the nozzles are formed; and 
 an electronic mounting member that governs an electronic control, 
 wherein the wiping member is attachable and detachable with respect to the liquid ejecting apparatus on an attachment/detachment path that lies along a direction which intersects the transport direction and a vertical direction, and 
 the electronic mounting member is disposed at a location which is different from below the attachment/detachment path when the wiping member is attached and detached. 
 
     
     
       9. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a support member which supports the wiping member and moves the wiping member along the nozzle forming surface, and the wiping member is attachable and detachable with respect to the support member.
